UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) for Landslide Analysis Case Study in Grenggeng Village, Kebumen District, Central Java

Abstract

Abstract Remote sensing technology has developed rapidly; one of them is data acquisition techniques using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). With high-resolution aerial photographs, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be a flexible, cost-effective, and accurate monitoring of landslide technique. This research aimed to determine and test the utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in congested areas. Data was collected at Grenggeng Village, Kebumen Regency, using unmanned aerial vehicles cruising altitude of 90 – 110 meters above ground level and a spatial resolution of 5 – 10 cm over a 0.200 km2 area. In November 2020, the research site will be a landslide area with similar rock lithology to the Halang Formation’s sandstone and claystone layers. Direct field observations revealed the geological structures involved and the rock lithology that produced the slip field, seepage, and the sorts of vegetation that the community had planted. According to aerial photography data, the relief appears to be a straight-line pattern in the direction of the geological structure, the slope of the layers, and different vegetation. Aerial photography using UAV can also be used to carry out rehabilitation and reconstruction techniques.
